Arduino Code and video L293D and DC Motor Controller (witout speed control)

Arduino code L293 DC motor Driver

Using L293 and L293D DC motor driver you can control two motors with controlling direction of rotation. This code is NOT for Stepper Motor control. it is just for DC motor control.
Code to contorl speed of DC motor using L293D Is here
Code for L293D Motor shield to control 4 DC motors Is here

Arduino code L293 DC motor Driver (Advanced)

Using L293 and L293D DC motor driver you can control two motors with controlling direction of rotation. In this Advanced code you a separate function is used to offer controlling the motor easily and make it ready for your application with simple code. This code is NOT for Stepper Motor control. it is just for DC motor control.
